Takuma Inoue defeated Tenshin Nasukawa to defend his WBC bantamweight title in Tokyo, Japan

Jesse “Bam” Rodriguez unveiled an interesting route towards a future super fight with undefeated four-division unified super bantamweight champion Naoya Inoue

Takuma Inoue picked up the biggest win of his professional career, defeating Kazuto Ioka by unanimous decision, dropping him twice along the way, to retain his WBC bantamweight title in Tokyo, Japan

The proposition of becoming a beltholder in five weight classes is all the motivation Kazuto Ioka needs ahead of his WBC bantamweight clash with Takuma Inoue on Saturday, writes Tom Ivers.

"What I want to prove is Takuma Inoue's strength and that I can beat Ioka," said Inoue ahead of Saturday's fight.

Naoya Inoue and Junto Nakatani were both under the junior featherweight limit ahead of their undisputed battle at the Tokyo Dome on Saturday night.

Naoya Inoue and Junto Nakatani met face-to-face Friday to announce the biggest all-Japanese fight in the nation’s history, along with a high-profile supporting clash.

Naoya Inoue continues to add to his legacy as perhaps the greatest fighter to ever come out of Japan.

Kazuto Ioka did not waste any time to establish himself at a new weight as he makes quick work of Maikel Ordosgoitti inside four rounds, writes Jake Donovan

Kazuto Ioka has revived an old tradition, but his streaming platform switch has sparked speculation over what's to come in 2026.
